2nd Recipe [Olivine City, Video]

[cyan_maid]

[It's definitely evident in this video that Jane's begun to settle in to the world of Pokemon. She's got her 'gear propped up so it can film her as she sits cross-legged on a bed (obviously in the Olivine Inn, for anyone who's ever stayed), backpack leaning against the pillow behind her, and she is all smiles.]

Hello again! This is Jane, for those of you who didn't see my, erm...grumpy introduction a few weeks ago. But yes, ah, so! I'm alright, my friend Dirk managed to pick me up on Route 31 and now I'm staying with him and some of our...relations, I guess you could call them, in Olivine City! It's really beautiful...but then again, this whole region is full to bursting with plants and people and Pokemon...

[She pauses, having caught herself gesturing as she spoke so excitedly, and blushes.]

Um, anyway. Pokemon - lots of types. That's what I wanted to talk about. I'm from a world where Pokemon was a video game that children played, but they only had 151 species. It's grown very apparent to me that there are lots more than that around, and I was wondering if anyone on here could give me some...opinions, I guess, on what kinds would be good to catch. I've heard we can talk to the Psychic ones, which would be so interesting to experience! But I also want to make sure I've got a balanced team, I've heard that is a very important thing to do, especially if you want to challenge the gyms, and...[She shrugs.] Well, it doesn't seem like you can travel with practicallity anywhere without some gym badges, and the closest one to me is a...Steel type gym, I think. So, for starters, I know I'll need to train a LOT just to get ready for the gym, but if I had something with a type advantage, I figure that would help heaps. For reference, I have an Audino and -

[She's cut off by the click and creek of an opening door, and soon a Kricketune toddles into view, forlorn as he climbs up on the bed to flop into Jane's lap. His mustache is a total mess and there are bits of green berry smashed all over his face, and Jane lets out a small gasp of surprise.]

Oh, Poirot, what happened? I thought you were playing with Dinah - wait...she didn't, did she?

Tuuuuuune...

[She shakes her head and tsks, reaching into her backpack for a small wooden box and a towel.]

Oh, it figures she'd do that! I'll give her a talking to when she comes in - ah, wait, hold on.

[Jane sets the things down and leans over, smiling sheepishly into the 'gear. As she talks, the Kricketune watches her and pales, hiding his face in the bedspread and groaning in mortification. She's talking into the thing, that means people can see how undignified he is doesn't it???]

Sorry about this! Um, anyway, if you've got suggestions for what kind of Pokemon I should catch, please let me know! I'll be able to respond once I've taken care of this poor fellow.

[ There's only one thing Basch seems to be interested in. ]
The Psychic ones speak.
[ Guess who didn't know that! He's sitting there with a Houndour on his lap, who's just. Sniffing the air a little. ]

You're friends with Dirk?

[Dave. How many secret friends are you hiding.]

And Steel types are really good! And if you're looking for a Psychic type too, you should look for one called Beldum, they're Steel/Psychic and they get REALLY strong when they evolve! Hang on-

[Have a file attachment, Jane: iris.png ]

Though... if you're FIGHTING them you'll want to use Fire, Fighting, or Ground attacks, they resist a lot of other types. And avoid using Fairy, Rock, or Ice type Pokémon, they're weak to Steel attacks. And Steel types are completely immune to the Poison type, so definitely avoid Poison attacks.

Oh, oh! I think you should get the uh...

[With that, Mabel started flipping through the Trainer's Handbook. Let's see here...!]

The fairy types! They look super cute and you should totally get some!

[A Gardevoir looks into the Pokegear, tilting her head.]

Well, that depends on what you want to do.

[fehcatsap]

I kinda remember the whole game thing too, but that kinda game wasn't really my scene, you know?

[He's more of an Oh! That's a Baseball! man.]

Steel, huh... only thing I can think of is maybe try like electricity or something? Doesn't seem like too much would get to a 'mon of steel. Me, I've just been grabbing what I can, and occasionally what I didn't mean to...

Oh, and I'm Josuke. Pleased to meet ya.

...Geez. Your team the kind to butt heads a lot?

[He offers a small, sympathetic sigh and a smile. When you have a team as large as his, conflicts are a dime a dozen. Doesn't make 'em any easier to put up with, though.]

Anyway, steel's a tricky type to deal with if you don't know what you're up against. Best types for the job are fire, fighting, and ground, but she's got a couple of dual-types that might make things bit more complicated.

Also, you can't poison them.

[foolishwren]

You're in Olivine?

You'll want Fire and Fighting types.

I won my badge by fighting with my Ponyta, though Steelix's also part Ground so you'll wanna be careful about that.

[The girl on the other end of the 'gear sports a surprised expression. ...And rather dark circles, has she been sleeping lately?]

Dirk. You're friends with Dirk and Dave and Jade and everyone? Oh- oh my goodness, I didn't even realize- I'm sorry, I'll get to your questions in a moment, but- you're from their world? ...Worlds? ...Space?

[She tried valiantly. Her Pokégear, for the record, is set up on her desk, tilted just enough so Jane can catch a glimpse of a strangely colored Eevee bouncing on its paws. Some kind of training? A Sylveon looks on, amused.]
